Emmi Pikler was a Hungarian pediatrician and she designed this climbing toy so kids can practise climbing and other kinetic skills. In this video I make my version of it, out of 15mm plywood and spruce.
I first cut my sides on the tale saw. I then rounded over the edges on the bandsaw and made a few pilot holes on the drill press.
To duplicate the same parts I added two nails as pins so I can make my marks.
I then used my drill with forstner bits to make the holes for the dowels.
I wanted the dowels to fit snuggly so I trimmed their edges using the the table saw.
I then pre drilled pilot holes and screwed the dowels in place.
I then rounded over everything using a round over bit on my router.
Next I made the locking mechanism.
Finally I made the ladder which is also a slide. I made it out of solid spruce. I first glued and nailed the steps in place. I also screwed them just to be sure.
Next I turned two ball shaped pieces. These act as locking pins for the ladder. But they are also handles for the slide.
And that was it. My little piker was ready. I am really happy with the way it came out. See you soon with a new project video.
